More thoughts.

Four, despite offering you a few limited character creation options, there's no way to not play as a faggy emo kid. I tried various options, but he looks faggy and emo no matter what you do. You can only make him look more or less faggy.

Five, the voice acting is lawl-worthy.

Six, the writing and story is also lawl-worthy. Your guy is a slave, and not some cool slave like Conan, but a faggy emo slave who will probably be put to work as a sex butler for some Caligula-type dude. But then some princess finds out you have the power to cast spells with cards, so you end up in a Yugioh card battling arena instead. Then you get lines like: "Wait, stop! Do you sometimes dream about stars exploding from the darkness?!"

Seven, the gameplay is total nerd porn. I've made it through the first two matches, and already I'm itching to do some deck building.

I gotta hurry up and win some more matches so I can get some good cards.

Then we can pit our faggy emo kids together!

TVC15 · « **Reply #65 on:** February 06, 2008, 08:02:41 PM »

I'd rather be a sex butler for Caligula.

I saw you playing not too long ago. I'm gonna beat your ass. You too Corny!

Edit: I hope my character gets to fuck Rilara. She got some hips and DSLs on her.

Edit 2: Three man battle!

You're already hitting Faustia. When she comes down to the gladiator stalls to gush about your amazing technique (it was just like in her dreams!) you think she was talking about card battling?

I hope a lot of people get this. It's very fun. I hope they do XBL content packs for it.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #77 on:** February 07, 2008, 04:39:49 AM »

Holy crap, this game is like a nerd orgasm. I fuckin' adore it. Too bad nobody will buy it. Bandai Namco sent my store two copies - one of them was my reserved copy. Fuck Devil May Cry 4 - this is where the fun is at!

I can play anytime tomorrow after 9PM PST.

I love the game, but part of me wonders if this wouldn't have been better introduced as an XBLA game. At least we know that there are a handful of Evilboreans up for the game.

Eh, it'll get more notice from folks browsing a brick and mortar store than as a XBLA game. At $39.99, it's already budget-priced and there is a ton of content. I'm not sure what it'd benefit from if it was offered as a XBLA game.

I think at least seven or eight people bought it today.

they released an updated version in japan btw, probably the same as the us one.

It would offer the benefit of me buying it

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #82 on:** February 07, 2008, 04:58:06 AM »

Why would you buy it as a XBLA game and not a retail copy?

demi · « **Reply #83 on:** February 07, 2008, 04:59:20 AM »

Let me deal with the reasoning here

good question, here are some thoughts:

- cheaper for the consumer
- play the game off the HDD, no need for discs
- graphics ain't anything special so it would be better as an arcade title
- 10/15 price tag seems reasonable and in the long term it may be profitable, plus you can't rent or buy it used which means more profit.
- it will always live on the marketplace, game won't go anywhere

Maybe I'll play it alongside you guys just so I can talk about it at least. It's a great game, but the Japanese online gamers are seriously hardcore so I don't stand a chance.

Hey, I'm seriously hardcore too when it comes to my beloved Culdcept. I trashed the whole fucking house after coming in second last night. Beezy: I am a dickhead, I should've said to Drinky "hey invite Beezy!". I blame the booze and the drugs.

I'm sorry, too, Beezy. I just wasn't sure that was you because of "eezy" being kinda commonplace in internet handles.

That was a fun game last night. I tried to save the replay, but it didn't work (when I go into the replay section, it says I have no saved replay data).

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #87 on:** February 07, 2008, 01:32:06 PM »

Man, I played an online match last night and this guy's whole deck was pretty much made out of cards I'd never even seen before. Back to single player mode.

TVC15 · « **Reply #88 on:** February 07, 2008, 02:38:23 PM »

Do the cards you win in campaign transfer to your multiplayer deck? I just guessed that the two decks would be separate from one another.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #89 on:** February 07, 2008, 02:43:07 PM »

Yeah, you can bring your deck online. Part of the strategy is removing certain cards from your deck or creating a deck that is strong in certain elements.

I only played one campaign match last night. I don't have a whole ton of free time, either, so I won't be able to nerbo out on the game.

Yeah the games are loooong.
How long are you guys spending on online matches? Offline takes long enough, but with real players and real intelligence, I imagine it takes even longer.

I think all said and done, false starts considered, it probably took between 60-90 minutes.

There's a clock in game that limits players to 60 seconds to do shit, so it keeps the game moving. It certainly didn't feel long.

Akala · « **Reply #93 on:** February 08, 2008, 06:34:50 PM »

I got beat on the first stage last night. Like...crushed. It's been a long time since I've played, and Culdcept isn't really like riding a bike. $:-\$

After the shame, I added the pity cards into my deck and destroyed her by over 50%. Gas cloud FTW.

I might try to go online later tonight, depends what time my wife goes to sleep. She hates Culdcept with a passion, so if there is anything at all 'better to do', I can't play. :'(

The game is regionally locked for the U.S. territories and as such, will not be playable on a PAL set Xbox 360. I know that there are many dedicated Culdcept fans in Europe, so I ask that you please be patient while we determine our release plan for the game in that region.
